Project mention: HN-text: an easy-to-use, text-first Hacker News terminal client | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-02

SafeEyes
Protect your eyes from eye strain using this simple and beautiful, yet extensible break reminder
Project mention: Show HN: LookAway – a native macOS app for building healthy screen habits | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-20For Linux users, I particularly recommend SafeEyes https://slgobinath.github.io/SafeEyes/
While it doesn't detect video calls automatically, you can receive notifications and choose to skip breaks when needed.
More importantly, while it sometimes interrupts my flow, that also helps me reassess my current focus.

quicktile
Adds window-tiling hotkeys to any X11 desktop. (An analogue to WinSplit Revolution for people who don't want to use Compiz Grid)
Quicktile: https://github.com/ssokolow/quicktile
Nobody is mentioning it but it is such a great tiling manager, I use it all the time. Just select the window with alt-tab and then tile the windows with Ctrl+alt+numeric keyboards. It's quick and it doesn't need a mouse to tile windows. And it can integrate into any x11 windows manager.
